I've always liked the idea of -nolisten tcp by default, but could you
verify that SSH X11 forwarding still works when this is the case?  It was
my impression, at one point, that the X11 forwarding was effectively a
glorified TCP forwarding, and not capable of forwarding the remote TCP X11
connection to the local UNIX domain socket in /tmp. 

What I'd really like is a way to limit TCP connections to localhost; since
we already use cookies by default, that should probably an equivilent
degree of protection.
